I know what you mean Art, but carbon certainly isn't inert - as your 
internal combustion engine in the garage, or the nearest match, will 
testify.  Graphite may be no more combustible than the paper the image 
resides on, but neither are inert.

Following the next deep impact, I don't think our successors will be 
digging up any pencil drafted notes as evidence of the existence of a 
bygone age.  :-)
